ON THE SUBJECT OF 194 VIRTUES OF THE FIRST ROW AND STANDING CLOSELY TOGETHER; HOW THE ANGELS STAND BEFORE THEIR LORD H 1099 "The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, came up to us and said, 'Why don't you stand in rows as the angels do before their Lord?' We inquired, 'O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, how do the angels arrange themselves before their Lord?' He answered, 'They fill each row beginning with the first and stand close together.'" R 1099 Muslim with a chain up to Jabir the son of Samurah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
باب فضل الصف الأول والأمر بإتمام الصفوف الأُوَل وتسويتها والتراصّ فِيهَا 1082 - عن جابر بن سَمُرَة رضي الله عنهما ، قَالَ : خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُول اللهِ صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ، فَقَالَ: "ألاَ تَصُفُّونَ كَمَا تَصُفُّ المَلائِكَةُ عِندَ رَبِّهَا ؟" فَقُلنَا : يَا رَسُول اللهِ ، وَكَيفَ تُصَفُّ المَلائِكَةُ عِندَ رَبِّهَا ؟ قَالَ : "يُتِمُّونَ الصُّفُوفَ الأُوَلَ ، وَيَتَرَاصُّونَ في الصَّفِّ" رواه مُسلِم .
